The AeroLEDs SunSpot 64 Equinox represents a groundbreaking advancement in aircraft lighting by introducing the industry's first dual-function LED solution for PAR64 applications. This innovative light merges both landing and taxi lighting modes into a single, powerful unit—offering unmatched flexibility, enhanced visibility, and energy efficiency for pilots seeking a modern upgrade over traditional incandescent systems.
In landing mode, the SunSpot 64 Equinox projects a tightly focused 20° x 20° bright white beam, delivering superior ground visibility and improved airframe recognition during high-speed approaches, takeoffs, and landings. The intense beam cuts through low-visibility conditions, allowing pilots to see clearly while also making the aircraft more visible to others in the air and on the ground. For taxi operations, the light switches to a broader 20° x 40° beam pattern, optimizing illumination across taxiways and runways. This wider field of view enhances ground navigation and safety without creating glare that could impair the vision of nearby pilots or ground crews.
Engineered for both single-light configurations and multi-light installations, the SunSpot 64 Equinox is built with efficiency and durability in mind. It consumes significantly less power than legacy lighting solutions while producing more lumens, making it an ideal replacement for high-wattage incandescent bulbs. Vibration-resistant construction ensures long-term performance even in demanding flight environments. The fixture seamlessly integrates into existing PAR64 mounts and utilizes standard electrical connections, allowing for a quick and hassle-free installation on a wide variety of aircraft platforms.
Technically advanced and built for reliability, the SunSpot 64 Equinox draws a maximum of 222 watts, with current ratings of 7.82 amps at 28VDC in landing mode and 6 amps at 28VDC in taxi mode. It emits an aviation white color temperature for exceptional color rendering, ensuring pilots perceive runway markings, terrain features, and taxi lines with natural clarity. The light is constructed from durable aluminum with a black powder-coated heat sink to manage thermal output and features a UV-hardcoated polycarbonate lens for resistance against environmental wear and tear. An integrated thermal protection system further enhances durability by regulating internal temperatures during prolonged use.
With a rated lifespan of over 30,000 hours mean time between failure (MTBF), the AeroLEDs SunSpot 64 Equinox delivers an ultra-reliable, maintenance-reducing lighting solution that improves operational safety and visibility for any aircraft using PAR64 systems. Whether you're upgrading for performance, efficiency, or pilot safety, the SunSpot 64 Equinox provides a powerful and future-ready lighting platform.
